419        <p>This problem has several causes. One is the use of a backslash (\) in the
420        repository path instead of a slash (/). Another can be a mismatch in the
421        case of the letters in the repository path. See bug

563      <li><a name="ssh_7"><strong>Why do CVS extssh connections fail on Fedora Core 4</strong></a>
564      <p>
565      There is an issue with Sun's JDK 1.4.2 and Fedora Core 4 that causes extssh
566      connections to fail with the message:
567    <pre>
568         CVS Communication error:
569            org.eclipse.team.internal.ccvs.ssh2.CVSSSH2ServerConnection$SSH2IOException:
570               Invalid argument or cannot assign requested address
571    </pre>
572    The issue seems to be related to both IPv6 and IPv4 being available in FC4. The
573    solution is to add
574    <pre>
575    -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
576    </pre>
577    with the -vmargs option when eclipse is started.

580      <li><strong><a name="ssh_8">Why does CVS extssh prompt for my password even when it is saved?</strong></a>
581      <p>This problem has been seen on servers that have a problems in a particular authentication
582      method. This will cause extssh to believe that there has been an authentication failure which
583      trigger a password prompt. See bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=119008">119008</a>
584      for details.
